Hey Dogsters, know what time it is? Time for another giveaway! And time is truly the essence of this one: One lucky reader is going to win a stunning 16-inch clock featuring your favorite dog/dogs. (A $155 value.) These clocks, made by talented artist JoAnn Shorter – aka The Clock Lady – are truly works of (pop) art. You submit a photo like this:

and The Clock Lady transforms it into a beautiful wall clock, using a unique process to create a kaleidoscope or mandala type design. Here are a couple more examples of her work.

Can you picture your dog on a clock like this? It’s a keepsake, a work of art, and a practical household item rolled into one. And just picture the conversations: “Honey, what time is it?” “It’s ten to Sparky!” Or “Hey, the big hand is on the tail, and the little hand is on the big paw. We’re late!”

Here’s how you can enter to win your own customized clock. Go to TheClockLady.net and sniff around for in the Pooch Gallery, the Pet Gallery, or Latest Designs.
